Champak|April First 2024
Early one morning, hearing a knock at the door, Tommy cat went and opened it. On the doorstep was his neighbour, Penny cat. She was holding a large box in her hands from which came the most tempting aroma.

Penny's CUPCAKES

Tommy was surprised and thought to himself, "Penny with a box of sweets? I have known her for years. She is such a miser." 

Penny smiled at Tommy, who was still lost in his thoughts, "Tommy, here are some cupcakes I made. I joined baking classes a few days ago and thought of trying my hand at making something at home. Eat them and let me know how they taste," saying this, Penny handed the box of cupcakes to Tommy and left.

Tommy was so amazed that he didn't even get a chance to thank Penny. He opened the box gleefully. 1...2...3...4...5... there were twenty cupcakes which looked delicious.

"I don't want to eat so many cupcakes alone. They contain a lot of butter and sugar, which are unhealthy if eaten in excess. I'll invite all my friends, and then we can all enjoy these cakes together. It will be a lot of fun," Tommy decided.

It was a holiday, so Tommy called some of his friends. Soon, everyone arrived. The smell and sight of the cupcakes made everyone's mouths water.

"Wow! They look so delicious," said Softy rabbit.

"They are so colourful," added Neeru mongoose.

"And what a delightful smell! It is irresistible," said Daisy deer.
